He posted about assault-rifle magazines, live-stream-technology troubleshooting, and what he ate for lunch. He announced his aim to “take back the cities” from nonwhite people and described his support for eugenics.
“the White population in the US will be REPLACED by shitskins,” Gendron wrote, using a racist slur. What’s most chilling about his reams of messages is how racist bile and criminal scheming coexist alongside the kinds of mundane updates that can be found everywhere on the Internet. Yet Gendron freely discussed the minutiae of his violent plans on the platform. Discord has reported that it banned more than two thousand communities that were “organizing around hate, violence, or extremist ideologies” in the second half of last year. In El Paso, Texas, the far-right gunman who killed twenty-three people at a Walmart, in 2019, published a screed on the forum 8chan.
Parts of Gendron’s writings were lifted directly from the Christchurch shooter’s own manifesto, which was posted on social media and has become a reference point for racist extremists. A German mass shooter the same year used Twitch to broadcast his attack outside a synagogue it was seen by more than two thousand people on the platform. The Christchurch killer, in 2019, also live-streamed his rampage, on Facebook, for as long as seventeen minutes. Gendron, who was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday for first-degree murder, was hardly the first mass shooter to make use of a disturbing kit of Web sites and apps to plan, execute, and document an attack. The stream was taken down after two minutes, a swift response on Twitch’s part, but the footage has since proliferated across the Internet and received millions of views through Twitter and other social platforms. During the shooting, he used a GoPro to live-stream on Twitch, a platform that is best known for allowing people to watch other people play video games. His attack would “intimidate the replacers already living on our lands,” he wrote. (In the end, he got delayed by a case of COVID-19.) Gendron later posted a manifesto on the anonymous message board 4chan, explaining his motives, which centered on “replacement theory,” the false conviction that white people are facing genocide and being replaced by immigrants. At that time, he’d already identified March 15, 2022, as the date for his attack, referencing the third anniversary of the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which fifty-one people were killed. I will carry out an attack,” Gendron, who is eighteen, declared, in December. Thousands of other Discord messages that have circulated in recent days make his intentions crystal clear: “It’s time to stop shitposting and time to make a real life effort shitpost. “Wouldnt it hurt a lot being shot with any type of bulelt with armor on,” he wrote under the username Jimboboii, in early 2021. Logs from a weapons-focussed group called Plate Land on the social platform Discord, collected by the media nonprofit Unicorn Riot, reveal that he had been discussing the efficacy of body armor.
